I booked this guest housefor the England V Italy rugby game in Feb 2008. Near the Termini Station so quite central. The idea being that you are not in the place too much so you dont particularly need a big hotel. The room & bathroom were clean and the bed linen was also spotless. On arrival the staff were very attentive, spoke good english and made us feel at home straight away. They gave us maps of the city, explained where everything was and were very helpful.

Rooms were not huge but were fine. Breakfast is continental and suffices to fill a hole. There is an excellent restaurant 50 yards away if you turn right out of the guest house and cross the road, Go down some steps into the restaurant. we had a wonderful meal there at good prices.

There is some one on the desk 24 hours so if you want to come in late you can do so in the knowledge you can get in with no worries. All round a very good time was had by all. We would go back there again.

we recently had a vacation in rome and stayed at Buonarroti Home B&B for a week. First of all I would like to thank all the reviewers before me for suggesting this hotel. I will surely suggest this warm-welcoming, cozy and good-value for money B&B in the middle of rome.

Eventhough the breakfast is basic, their cappuchino is really good. The staff will help you out in any way they possibly can. Given that it is family run businness you have a personal interaction with the owners. This hotel is literally a minute walk from the Vittoria Emmanuele metro A station and Termini is about 5 min walk. There are lots and lots of pizzerias and other eating places within reach and the locality looked quite safe and quiet in the night.

I would surely would love to go to the same B&B the next time I am in rome.

Advantages
Close to main train station/metro.
Room had private bathroom (with good hot water) and bar fridge.
Included breakfast wasn't flash but it was food nonetheless. We added to it with fresh fruit bought from the excellent market just down the road (south of the B&B, near the Termini train station).
Within 15 minutes walking distance of Colosseum/Roman Forum.
Friendly staff.
Free internet.
Great value for money.

Disadvantages
The only real disadvantage is that the area around the main train station is a little bit unnerving when you first arrive loaded down with luggage and screaming "tourist, tourist" to anyone that sees you. But once you dump your bags, and settle in, the surrounding area is fine. We had zero problems.

I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel near Termini and chose to
book this hotel after reading the positive reviews here at tripadvisor.
The property is a few minutes walk from the Termini railway station and
very close to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. "Vittorio Emanuele"
line A metro station is only a hundred meters away and there is also an
underground supermarket of the SMA chain nearby (to the right of S.M. Maggiore).
Rooms are indeed small as is the breakfast room (you need to reserve
your time slot the night before) and the lift is narrow. Breakfast itself
is very basic and limited to a choice of bread, croissant, butter, jam,
coffee and orange juice. These been said, the room was clean and quiet
at night whereas the staff were quite friendly and helpful. There is
also a desktop PC that you can freely use for web surfing. In conclusion,
I agree with the majority of reviewers that Buonarroti offers good value
for money and won't surprise you negatively.
